Hello WC Shef+ield! Jenny Wong : Web Developer : @miss_jwo
Custom Post Types Jenny Wong : Web Developer : @miss_jwo
Fast Talker Feel free to ask me to slow down.
Its good for me.
Content The most important thing about a site.
Post Types WordPress deals with all the different type of
content by de+ining them based on what they are. ! The de+initions are called Post Types.
Post Types ! •Post •Page •Attachments •Revision
•Nav Menus } Defaults
Custom Post Types CPT for short.
Post Types ! •Post •Page •Attachments •Revision
•Nav Menus
Custom Post Types • Post • Page •
Attachments • Revision • Nav Menus •News •Staff … anything from Jen’s head
Why?
Advantages •Hides content from the default query •Management of
content is easier •Improved user interface & usability •The ability to use custom templates
Disadvantages •Performance issue with querying a large table
•If content doesn’t easily +it the post type tables then issues can occur.
Where do CPTs live? The Options
Theme •CPT attached to the theme •Activate Theme &
CPT will appear •Deactivate theme: • User cannot access their CPT data • Data still stored in the database
Plugin • Functionality is separate to the design of
the website •Can activate new theme without functionality disappearing •Plugins can be deactivated
Must Use Plugin mu plugin for short.
